Muse is working on their 7th studio album, and a follow-up to their 2013 album, ‘The 2nd Law’. Earlier in the year, drummer Dom Howard stated the following about their next chapter: “We’re going to start this yearโฆ We’re going to go back in May and start working on some new stuff, so I think we’ll start making it this yearโฆ If we can get something out this year, that would be great, but definitely next year.”
In regards to the plans for the new album, Matt Bellamy commented: “I have this strong feeling that the next album should be something that really does strip away the additional things that we’ve experimented with on the last two albums, which is electronics, symphonics and orchestral work and all that kind of stuff.”ย
